@moneyandflying @tomhfh @stuartroxy @CalvinMcnuggets Tbf, I'm corrected that the uniting was Great Britain and Ireland. Still makes no sense as a retained title with Northern Ireland - which is definitely not a Kingdom - though.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@moneyandflying @tomhfh @stuartroxy @CalvinMcnuggets In that case isn't the UK purely England and Scotland? As they are the kingdoms that were united.

@KevInKCMO17 @JNatt1311 Think it started in 1776 to be fair.

Truth is I'd both love to experience visiting some of these US stadia - although more for their intended sports than football, yet hate it if ours were built the same.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@KevInKCMO17 @JNatt1311 Oh crickey, your one of those. Look just enjoy the fact we have different tastes round the world, helps make it a richer place to visit and enjoy, and leave the angry insults behind. Will do you the world of good.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@KevInKCMO17 @JNatt1311 But it's not better... that's the point.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@KevInKCMO17 @JNatt1311 If the bygone era was better than why not aim for that in the future. Modern doesn't descend from the sky, it's the choices we make, and some bowl surrounded by acres upon acres of parking ain't my idea of a desirable target.

Is everyone else's World Cup related timeline (and so much else) a constant stream of Americans and Europeans abusing each other? It's amazing how angry and insecure social media seems to have made how we approach commenting on each others' societies.

@liangshikai1990 @ReasonRiffs @AaronBastani They do very well in MP numbers considering their vote share precisely because of it.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@liangshikai1990 @AaronBastani In FPTP that very much matters. It's why Reform keep losing to the anyone-but-reform candidate.

We can but dream.

@nazzobetweeting This is where every British chud on here thinks France and Brazil should be playing each other in the semifinals

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@bellender60 @KathrynPorter26 @LucyMPowell No. But it's much less incorrect and much less misleading than either of the two on the right hand side would have been.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@bellender60 @KathrynPorter26 @LucyMPowell The cuts bar in Reform and Spend bar for Greens are both utter unbelievable, fantasy without repurcussions neither party is willing to nearly admit.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@bellender60 @KathrynPorter26 @LucyMPowell Had their faults but nearly as ridiculous.

@DaveYates86 @SkyNews Academic analysis suggests Eurodisney only marginal net economic positive with single digit returns and very dependent on the additionality of overseas visitors not to be negative: https://t.co/Rynh6sm4kk

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@DaveYates86 @SkyNews Eurodisney had been loss making in 2/3rds of the years it has operated due to debt overhang.

Thing with Murray is his GS total underplays his career. A bit more luck at sharp end and the injury not hitting when it did and he could have had near double figures. So while rightfully always the number 4 of the 4, he wouldn't get questioned like this.

No sé por qué se empeñan en poner a Andy Murray en la foto, cuando la realidad es esta:

@Userisjamie @ClasiHistorica @TheReaccionario I'd say more until his injury than his retirement. Really unfortunate as well as came at just the point he had finally reached at least parity with the others (no 1 period). For how long he could have sustained that without the injury we don't know.

[David @Anapecalleddave]

@ClasiHistorica @Userisjamie @TheReaccionario Is anyone arguing he is? Least of all himself? But he was very much a pillar of that era and there's a reason the other three have such respect for him.

@andrew_lilico Anglo? That's how it is commonly used regardless of origin. Else, would you regard a sportsman representing England to not be English? Matthew is correct.
